Everest Base Camp Budget Trek - 12 Days

Transcription

1 Everest Base Camp Budget Trek - 12 Days The Mt. Everest Base Camp is a dream destination of most of the adventure trekkers/travelers around the world. Most of these adventure lovers (especially students and backpackers) prefer to travel on a small budget. Keeping these people s needs in mind, Amigo Treks and Expedition P. Ltd., offers low- budget Everest Base Camp Trek package to help interested trekkers fulfill their dream, on a limited budget. We want to help trekkers explore the attractions of the Khumbu region (Mountain views, Sagarmatha National Park, Sherpa Culture, important Monasteries and Sherpa settlements), all within their budget. Our 12 days Everest Base Camp Budget Trek package price covers the facilities of airport transfer for Lukla flight, flight tickets to and from Lukla, an English speaking guide, porters, TIMS permit, National Park entrance fee and a shuttle service from airport to the hotel in Kathmandu (after the trek). The package does not include food and accommodation; however, the guide provided by the company will definitely help trekkers in finding the best budget accommodation and eating spots. Moreover, the package can be customized to the trekker s needs and requirements, ensuring flat rate, 100% departure and special group discount. This special budget trek to Everest Base Camp starts with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, where trekkers will be introduced to the Sherpas and the porters. We trek for two days, before the first acclimatization against Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) at Namche, then for two more days before the second acclimatization at Dingboche. Before reaching Dingboche, we also enjoy the hilltop settlement of Tengboche and the Buddhist Monastery, guarded by the awesome views of the peaks, including Tawache, Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and Thamserku. From Dingboche, we set off to conquer the base camp of the Mount Everest (5,364m). Gorak Shep is the last village before the base camp. After base camp, we also hike up to Kala Patthar (5,550m), to enjoy the magnificent views of the Mt. Everest, which is not seen from the base camp, and other surrounding peaks like Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori and Cho Oyu. After achieving the goal, we retrace the trail used earlier to get back to Lukla and catch a flight to Kathmandu. Spring and autumn are the two best seasons to plan this trek. The standard package offered by Amigo Treks & Expedition ensures proper acclimatization with an average of 4-6 hour walk in a day. No prior experience or technical knowledge is required to complete this trek. Therefore, any physically fit person with strong mental determination can opt for this trek. Moreover, if you are looking for a worry-free deal, we suggest you to go for our 15 days Everest Base Camp Trek or 12 days Short Everest Base Camp Trek, or even 14 days Everest Base Camp Trekking package which keeps you off-the-hassle of finding a good place to eat and rest.
